Literary

Contains irreverent and fun-filled bios of writers you were forced to read in school, from Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson to JD Salinger and Sylvia Plath. It covers Franz Kafka, who chewed his food 45 times before swallowing; WB Yeats, who paid surgeons to transplant monkey glands into his scrotum; and, JRR Tolkien, who slept in his bathroom.
